Massimo Moratti has urged Inter and Milan not to knock down San Siro, explaining that ‘it wouldn’t hurt to have two stadiums.’
The two Milan clubs are reportedly ready to demolish San Siro and replace it with a new, 60,000-seater stadium, but Moratti insists the long-standing venue has too much history.
“I’m really sorry that we’re thinking of knocking down San Siro for more than one reason,” the former Nerazzurri President told Il Giorno.

“I’m really sorry that we’re thinking of knocking down San Siro for more than one reason,” the former Nerazzurri President told Il Giorno.
“First of all, in terms of visibility and comfort, Meazza seems like a cinema or restaurant. The game can be seen very well, like in a living room.
“San Siro isn’t just a sports facility, but it’s also part of the history of the city of Milan and all its people, so I’d avoid sending the bulldozers.
“Cutting costs doesn’t mean having to knock down San Siro, which is a magnificent stadium. I understand the idea of Inter and Milan having a stadium of their own.
“It happens when private companies think about business. Hearts don’t always prevail over wallets, but it wouldn’t hurt to have two stadiums.
“If you have two owners, a 60,000-seater stadium will be completely new and changing its face will be easier.
“It would also make financial sense as less money will be spent.”
